Synopsis

When he hears residents of a Newark neighborhood are getting sick - and even dying - from a strange disease, investigative reporter Carter Ross dives into the story - so deep he comes down with the illness himself. With even more motivation to track down the source of the disease, Carter soon hits upon a nearby construction site. But when the project's developer is found dead, and his mob ties surface, Carter knows he's looking at a story much bigger - and with even more dangerous consequences - than an environmental hazard. Back in the newsroom, Carter has his hands full with his current girlfriend and with the paper's newest eager intern, not to mention his boss and former girlfriend Tina Thompson, who has some news for Carter that's about to make tangling with the mob seem simple by comparison.

Goodreads review by Susan on April 14, 2014

If you read The Player in a public place, be prepared to stifle your chuckles. One of my favorite lines: Tina gives Carter the kind of look that “people usually save for backed-up toilets.” Newspaper reporter Carter Ross uncovers layers of trouble when he starts to investigate complaints of flu-like......more
